Video: Luka Doncic Kicked Out for Hitting Collin Sexton Below the Belt
Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic was assessed a flagrant 2-foul and was ejected during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers after he 'accidently' hit Collin Sexton right in the nuts.
Doncic and Sexton had been jostling for position under the basket and after some heavy bumping back and forth, down went Sexton after the blow. The Mavs star admits the game happens fast but says he didn't intentionally do it:
After I saw the video, I knew I hit him, but it wasn't nothing on purpose. I think that kind of stuff happens a lot in games, but I don't know. That's my explanation. It obviously wasn't on purpose. It was just two guys fighting for a rebound, I guess.
Sexton said after the game it's all good and he doesn't hold anything against Doncic for playing hard. Good thing for the Mavs star is the fact this foul won't be added to his technical foul count so the 22-year-old won't be suspended.
Here's the play, you be the judge....on purpose, or no!?
